The sail from there has been a broad reach with consistently high speeds although the boats bum badly needs a clean which would be slowing us down a lot. Looking forward to being able to do that in Rangiroa. The anchorage at Nuku Hiva was way to rolly to do it and the sharks were a little off putting. They were about six foot. The locals would swim in the middle of the day but not at morning or night. I didn't share their confidence as I saw them in the middle of the day.
The boat is going well with only some minor issues to attend to in Tahiti. We should arrive in Rangiroa tomorrow morning and plan to spend one or two nights there. Will continue blogging then.
